Drive specification
This Toshiba MK5056GSY is a 2.5 inch laptop internal hard drive with a 500 GB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and includes 16 MB of cache. The drive is supplied as a bare unit in new condition.
Suitability and limits
It suits users who need a mechanical drive for a notebook or compact desktop that accepts a 2.5 inch SATA device. Buyers who want more storage capacity or a solid-state drive for faster access times should look at something else. The bare-drive packaging means no mounting screws or cables are included.
Deciding specification
The 7200 RPM spindle speed is the single figure that determines whether this drive matches the performance expectation for the intended system. A lower rotational speed would reduce sustained throughput, while a higher speed is not available in this model line.
